Reviews for Ivybank Guest House
Review 1:The bath was a bit narrow compared with our bath at home, but was probably of standard width and perfectly adequate.
Review 2:Good to have a bath, not just a shower. Pleased to find a Gideon Bible in the bedroom, which we read and found helpful.
Review 3:The bath had not been cleaned from last guest. A toilet roll holder wasmissing. A light was not working above a mirror. The bath had cracks.
Review 4:The clean carpets. The cleanliness of everything apart from the bath.The breakfast was excellent and we would definitely return.
Review 5:Nothing comes to mind.
Review 6:Well located, friendly owners who made an extra effort to accommodate our young baby. Breakfast was great and room was good size.
Review 7:The house is on a main road, so there was some traffic noise (but the walls are thick!).
Review 8:5-minute walk from the dentre of Blairgowrie, quiet, pleasant house with friendly owner.
Review 9:Friendly host and great location. Blairgowrie is a lovely place to stay and the guesthouse is so close to the village and pubs and restaurants. The host guided us where to eat and we were so impressed with what was on offer within walking distance. Lovely breakfast every day even though we overslept on the last day by an hour as the clocks went forward!

Review 11:The room was lovely and clean with a very nice shower room. the breakfast was excellent and plentiful. We were made very welcome.

Review 52:The room was cold most of the time. There was no plug for the bath. I could not stand under the shower properly due to the design of the bath.

Review 64:I booked the room for my parents who are both 79 and were down to visit my sister in Blairgowrie. They were put into a very small room at the top of the house although no one else appeared to be staying in the property. Only one slice of toast each for breakfast although more was offered once they were finished. They didn't feel it was value for money.
